-> ''“’A’ real sinister Asiatic mastermind? There were ''dozens'' of them! All over the place! In Asia, California, New York, South America, Africa, Europe, Britain - everywhere where there was a Chinese community of any sort, you had one of those guys trying to stir things up! Some of them were agents of the [[AncientConspiracy Red Monks]], some of them were agents of the White Monks, some of them were agents of... ''something else''... but most of them were just really pissed off Chinese who were still honked about losing the Opium Wars. Oh, and the way that both the Brits and the Americans had been treating the Chinese ever since. How DARE those roundeyed devils treat the children of the Middle Kingdom the way that the Han treated everyone else!”''

-> "[W]hat happened with the [[PowerOfActing Crimson Dragon]] act?” Redford asked.

-> “You mean, there was a REAL ‘Sinister Asiatic Mastermind’ back then?” Redford yelped.

-> “What happened with the ‘Snake of Fire’?”
-> Townsend gave a rueful chuckle. “I admit it, I was shitting bricks when we finally met face-to-face. But get this - he was amused by me. I was basically doing his job for him, and doing a pretty good job of it. I think that the Masters put in a good word for me in with him. But, there was the whole thing about a roundeye impersonating a mandarin. So, he took over my organization, claiming that I’d been working for him from the get-go, and told me to take my ‘Crimson Dragon’ act east of the Rockies.”
-> “What did you do?”
-> “What do you think I did? I caught the next train for Denver! Hey, I had over a thousand Chinese street goons. He had maybe a hundred highly-trained martial artists who knew what they were doing. I was outnumbered!”

->''"Imagine a person, tall, lean, and feline, high-shouldered, with a brow like Shakespeare and a face like Satan, a close-shaven skull, and long, magnetic eyes of the true cat-green. Invest him with all the cruel cunning of an entire Eastern race, accumulated in one giant intellect, with all the resources, if you will, of a wealthy government—which, however, already has denied all knowledge of his existence. Imagine that awful being, and you have a mental picture of Dr. FuManchu, the yellow peril incarnate in one man."''

-> ''"Whatever industry [the Chinese] have attacked they have captured; whatever they have attempted they have mastered; whenever there has been an encounter between them and our own people they have come off victorious. And these are said to be the very offscouring of the Chinese ports. If then such results come to us from contact with 130,000 of their lowest grade of intellect, what shall be the measure of their success when free intercourse, open ports, and the attractions of foreign commerce pour upon our shores the numbers they can spare from their 400,000,000 of population?--when their leading men, with subtle intellects, come in conflict with our plodding minds?--who shall dare say which is the superior race until the conflict is over? Every contest between ourselves and the Chinese hitherto has been to them a victory."''
